COPENHAGEN.- Gitte Jungersen exhibits her newest works, which consist of ceramic landscape-like scenes with found figures; plastic animals, fish hooks, porcelain figurines etc. Gitte Jungersen uses lava-esque bubbly glazing in clear synthetic colours, which have a strong sensual appeal.

In a catalogue essay by Love Jönsson, she writes, "On one of the walls in Gitte Jungersen’s workshop in Copenhagen hang a few curious-looking pieces of sculpture. They have the likeness of organically shaped ledges or miniature landscapes. Their form language, however, is familiar from the protuberances sprouting out of the cube shaped vessels Gitte Jungersen has been working on in the last few years. But in these new wall objects, both the form and its execution have been pushed one step further. The relationship between the sculptural object and the space has changed. While the ceramic boxes in the artist’s earlier production used to create small, clearly defined spaces filled by alien vegetation, these landscape-like wall objects rather function as an appendix in the larger context of the surrounding architecture. Even if the organic ceramic forms are still about the same size as in the past, the impression they impart on the onlooker is now completely new. To some extent, the artist engages here in a game of play with her audience’s expectations. Instead of simply affirming her previous accomplishments, she elects to go on, forging ahead with a novel set of objects. Viewed against her earlier work, Gitte Jungersen’s most recent sculptures mark a move towards another way of looking at ceramics and the places it can occupy."
